Wajahat Ali Says Conservatives Will 'Deflect' When Right-Wing Academics Are Caught Plagiarizing

Progressives are doing everything they can to deflect from the real reason why former Harvard president Claudine Gay resigned. They're all excusing her plagiarism, either ignoring it or saying she was just "sloppy" or even claiming that the plagiarism scandal was "ginned up" from nothing. Gay got caught and was exposed. That's the story.

Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali is looking forward to right-wing academics being caught plagiarizing so he can watch conservative media "ignore it, deflect, and laugh at the gullibility of the mainstream media." Yes, progressives are also angry with newspapers like the New York Times falling into Christopher Rufo's "well-executed" trap and reporting on it when there are so many more important things to be writing about than "internal politicking" at Harvard.

When right wing academics are going to be caught plagiarizing in the next few weeks, conservative media and politicians will say, "So what?" They'll ignore it, deflect, and laugh at the gullibility of the mainstream press which they loathe. It's a good racket.

Gorsuch was found to have "copied the structure and language used by several authors and failed to cite source material in his book and an academic article, according to documents."

Oddly, right-wing actors haven't asked for his resignation. So strange.https://t.co/hyp7tT4N5I

So strange that Ali has no mirrors in his home.

You're literally describing your own behavior right now, dude. https://t.co/6wesUy8Dl0

A good racket? Maybe don’t commit plagiarism your whole academic career then lead a major university, then have university cover it up for you. That is the racket that should be discussed

You’re projecting possible future responses to situations that haven’t happened so that you can be outraged? This is a good racket you have going.

Leftists think "merit" is unfair to apply to black people because they don't think we are capable of doing anything without the help of others (especially white people & the government).

They see being black as an automatic handicap and they pity our "struggle to keep up". pic.twitter.com/6rbiw9H7bn
